More About Jean Abbott

Since Jean's story appeared on the Today Show, Good Housekeeping, Yahoo!, and the U.K.'s "Daily Mail", an overwhelming number of people from around the world have contacted Jean to tell her how inspired they were by her miraculous journey from “wheels to heels”.  

Jean was misdiagnosed as a young child with a form of cerebral palsy. After 33 years of countless doctor visits, medical procedures, unnecessary medications and surgeries, she was correctly diagnosed with dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD).  In fact, she received the life changing news on Good Friday and stood independently for the first time in ten years on Easter Sunday!  Jean now enjoys all the adventures of her new life, but she wouldn't change the journey that brought her to where she is today. Her positive attitude is highly contagious as she encourages others to appreciate the little things in life.
